I should have said that weaving the bytecode is not allowed either, since it 
again implies prepending a modified version of the whole rt.jar (around 50MB) to 
 the boot classpath.

What I'm trying to do in my app is essentially modify the behavior of the JDK 
classes *without* having to tell the user "install my Java app...and, by the 
way, download this 50MB file and replace your rt.jar with it"

Solving the problem at load time seems to be the only solution, but maybe I'm 
missing something.
